If Felix had a mouthful of nickels, he couldn't give you change for a quarter. He doesn't speak much, he just competes.

You look back and are thankful that he reacted the way he did. It's not good to see him get into trouble, but it's good to see him get out of trouble. I'd rather have less-stressful learning experiences.

We pitched well for four innings. The sad thing is you have to pitch well for nine innings.

I think it was a good learning situation for him. I really do. [But] it scared the [heck] out of me.

I think we've seen him getting stronger and stronger and more confident in the fact his arm is 100 percent healthy. This game was probably the best of them all.

He's just a good player. He's a good hitter, a good defender and a good baserunner. He's a tremendous role model for all our younger players.

It's the first time I've ever seen anybody play the field with a shinguard on. He kept saying it was fine and that he was feeling better. If he'd have said it was the same or getting worse, I'd have taken him out of the game.

He kept a good-hitting team off balance.

We won't know until tomorrow. If I were to guess, he pulled a hamstring.
